Arguments

dir

Directory location to save files.

data

A data frame of WCGOP biological data that includes all species.

catch_data

A data frame of WCGOP catch data that includes all species. This data frame will be used to check confidentiality.

species_name

Species that you want composition data for.

len_bins

Length composition bins (example: seq(20, 90, 2)).

age_bins

Age composition bins (example: 1:50).

gear_groups

List of gear types to group together (example: list(c("Bottom Trawl", "Midwater Trawl"), c("Hook & Line", "Pot", "Shrimp Trawl"))).

gear_names

Vector of gear group names (example: c("trawl", "fixed gear")).

fleet_colname

Column to use to determine areas for fleets (example: "r_state.x")

fleet_groups

List of fleet groups to use (example: list(c("WA", "OR", "CA"))).

fleet_names

Vector of fleet names (example: c("coastwide")).
